Chapter 1

Ten Things I hate about you

AN:I own nothing but the plot

Serenity walked briskly to her locker through the busy hallway of Domino High. She was pissed, really pissed. It was her first day starting the 10th grade and she had Literature first thing this morning and with her least favorite person in the world. Seto Kaiba.

Just the thought of his self-cock ass righteous persona made her mad. And to think she had to tolerate his being for a whole year.

Joy, she rolled her eyes and dodged a group of girls. She came to her locker and threw it open. She shoved her books in while pulling out her Lit books out of her pink shoulder bag. She hated Kaiba so much that she even had a list of things she hated about him. She had ten to be exact, though she knew it was not enough to cover his annoying personality.

His self-righteous stride pisses me off

His presence annoys me

His know-it-all brain drives me up a wall

He is the only person in Domino High I can compete with academically

His rather all too knowing smirk

He has every single and none-single girl (including me) going 'gaa gaa' over him

His absolutely bad timing when I'm in trouble with Joey

The fact that I have X-rated dreams about him

The way he calls my brother names even when he deserves it

All of the above

She sighed heavily and closed her locker shut and walked off to her class. She had no idea who her Lit. teacher was going to be but she hoped it that it will be a good person because, damn, she will need that person to keep her mind off Kaiba during class.

Kaiba was walking through the hallway, heading to his first class of the day, minding his own business when someone ran face forward into his chest and knocked the book he was so very much into onto the floor.

"Sorry," she replied hastily, immediately bending over to pick up his book.

His lips raised into a smirk as he saw who it was.

Wheeler.

"Well, well, well. Finally decided to come out of your cave huh, Wheeler? I'm shocked someone hasn't shot you as yet."

At his voice, Serenity paused and dropped back down his book.

"Oh," she said like if she saw something disgusting, "Kaiba. What are you doing out in public?"

Kaiba chuckled lightly and leaned over to pick up his book. "I see. Still mad I caught you in you little act, Wheeler?"

Serenity beamed red and added hotly, "You had no business being there."

"Sure, whatever floats your boat," He shrugged carelessly.

"Whatever Kaiba. I have classes to attend,"

"Whoa, hold on," he said, catching her arm and pulling her back. "Tell me. How does it feel knowing that I know your secret?"

"I couldn't care less Kaiba," Serenity replied irritated. "Now move. I have class to go to."

Kaiba released her and watched with amusement as Serenity stiffly walked to class. Judging by how thick the books she held in her hand, he'd guess she had literature first.

Well, I guess I've got Lit with a Wheeler. This year ought to be interesting.


"Hey there Wheeler," Tea, one of Serenity best friends chirped happily as a fuming and totally pissed Serenity took her seat. "What's up?"

"Nothing at all." she lied, pulling her open waist length maroon hair into a careless ponytail.

"Sooo…" Tea started, leaning in, "how was your date with Tristan?"

"Urgh!' Serenity frowned, "It was horrible! He acted like a complete ass on the date that day. I broke up with him."

"Oh! That's sad." Tea said remorsefully, then chirped, "Well at least worry about him bothering you today."

"Why do you say that?"

"Cuz," Tea said, flicking a nail, "he got knocked down this morning in front of Iwa's Hot Bun Shop. And you won't believe who is responsible."

"He got knocked down?" Serenity cried, horrified then swore, "Damn, someone beat me to it. Oh well…" she added happily, "Who's the lucky bastard? I wana thank him."

"Seto Kaiba."

"WHAT!"

"I know and guess what he said when he got out of his fat ass limo?"

"What?"

Tea sat up and put on a Kaiba-like voice, "'Yo, Tyler you dented my limo. I hope you have insurance, cuz you're gona be dirt poor when I'm done with you."

"Actually before I said all that I asked him if his eyes were up his ass. The crackshot walked in front my limo on a green light."

Both Tea and Serenity's heads snapped up with a startled gasp coming from Serenity and saw a smirking Kaiba leaning casually against a desk with his arms snugly folded.

Oh crap! Serenity thought.

"What are you doing here Kaiba?" Serenity asked icily.

"I think you owe me a 'thank you' Wheeler. After all, I did do you a favor."

Serenity burned a bright red then replied hotly, "Mind your own business Kaiba."

"Tsk. Such a nasty temper." He shook his head sadly. "How unattractive,"

Just then Joey, Yami and Yugi walked through the door much to Kaiba's disgust.

"Oh joy," he said lamely, "just what I need. A class full of friend loving losers."

"Go hump your laptop Kaiba," Serenity said before Joey could say anything, "clearly its missing you from your desk."

"Careful Wheeler," Kaiba said softly, unfolding his arms and pushing himself off the desk to place both arms on her desk, "I know your secret, and all I have to do is tell a certain someone…"

Serenity's face fell as Kaiba's lips pulled into an evil smirk. With that he pushed away from her desk, chuckling under his breath when suddenly the Lit teacher walked in.

O hell no… he frowned when he saw who it was.

This isn't so bad, Serenity thought smiling happily to herself, twirling her pen daintily between her slender fingers as she watched on with much interest. At first when she saw who her Lit teacher was go, she thought Lit class was going to be bust but as class wore on, the teacher proved to be quite entertaining.

The class (mainly the girls) was amused at the fact that Mr. Pegasus had such a grueling yet interesting effect on the boys in the class.

Oooooh. Would you look at their faces! It's priceless.

Of course Serenity had laughed her ass of when she saw the look of utter disgust come upon Kaiba's face when Mr. Pegasus walked in.

Flashback…

"Good morning class," a happy Mr. Pegasus chirped, walking into the class in a tight hot pink suit and a bright yellow bow tie.

He dropped the heavy Literature books he was carrying unto his desk and swiftly turned to survey his new year's class with eager eyes.

"Oh looky here. Looks like I have a full class this semester," he said in a bored tone. "Yawn..."

His voice trailed off as his eyes scanned the room of students lingering particularly on the guys.

"Oh my goodness!" he suddenly gasped, delighted. "I see that Mr. Duke Delvin has made it into my literature class. Oh my."

Duke held a tight face and looked away.

"Oh and looky!" he pointed, bouncing lightly on his feet, "Mr. Yami Moto is here as well! I'm so delighted indeed."

As his eyes fell on Kaiba, Pegasus let out a startled gasp and clasped his trembling hands together by his mouth to hold back tears. "Oh my. Oh my. Mr. Kaiba I am truly happy. You are here at last. Finally!" he cried, "my life long dream has come true. I finally get to teach a class of handsome young fellows. Ah, I shall look forward to teaching this semester."

As Pegasus went off into another world, Kaiba was holding back some insulting words and chose to sit back with a grim expression.

Sick old man, he snorted.

When Pegasus finally came back to reality, his eyes fell on a certain fellow that completely wiped his toothy smile off his face and instantly killed his cherry aura.

"Oh my…" he said slowly with a shaking hand coming up to cover his frown, "Umm… Mr. Joey Wheeler," he forced a smile but had a difficult time keeping it steady. "Well," he huffed dramatically, stomping down a foot to show his displeasure and folded his arms like a sullen child. "I find it highly disturbing that you are in my class. Tell me my hand…uh young fellow, how is it that you are in my Advanced Literature class considering the fact that you're illiterate?"

"I'm wa?" Joey asked confused, "Yo Yug, what'd he mean by dat?" he turned to tight faced Yugi who was trying to keep his face straight.

"Illiterate meaning you can't read, idiot," Kaiba said coldly.

"Watch it Kaiba!" Joey growled.

"Go spray yourself for fleas, you mutt."

"Why you …"Joey started.

"Go suck on a doorknob Kaiba." Serenity spat.

"Maybe you should take your own advice Wheel-er."

"How dare you…" Serenity began.

"Settle down children," Mr. Pegasus said, tapping a ruler against his desk.

Kaiba and Serenity glared at each other before Mr. Pegasus tapped his ruler again. "Now, now. That's no way to behave Ms. Wheeler. Now apologize to Kaiba boy."

"Wha… wha?" Serenity sputtered, "bu… but…"

"You too Mr. Wheeler."

"No way. That-"

"Do it now or its detention for both of you. I will not tolerate you two picking on my star pupil."

"Fine. Sorry… Kaiba boy" Serenity clenched through her teeth.

"Me too." Joey said tightly.

"Now that's much better. Now we can move on. Please take out your books. Today we'll be looking at one of Shakespeare's famous books, Romeo and Juliet."

And you wonder why I hate Kaiba
